Artist:9 Lazy 9
Song:Lotto Jisco
Album:Paradise Blown
9 Lazy 9 recorded ambient Electronic Dance Music (EDM). They had modest success in European clubs in the 90s. Paradise Blown was their 1994 debut album. 9 Lazy 9 are two British producers who moved to Italy in the 90s. Keir Fraser was a member of the 80s band Last Few Days. This band was very experimental. Their music was very intense. It was like the industrial rock of the era but deliberately more obscure. They released two albums but the intensity got to be too much for Fraser and he left in 1989. That's when he met James Bladell who had produced a couple of singles. They moved to Italy in 1992 and called themselves 9 Lazy 9. They signed with the EDM label Ninja Tune. This label is owned by the duo Coldcut. As a joke, Ninja Tune gave them fake Italian names on their website. This fake bio appears on Wikipedia and Discogs. They released the 1993 single Monk's Dream followed by Paradise Blown. It's ambient EDM with smooth jazz leanings. Apparently they used Italian musicians but they are not identified. This album is available as a budget CD. After recording another album, they went on hiatus until 2003. After self releasing one more album in 2009, it looks like they went their separate ways. James Bladell records as Funky Porcini. He has released several albums and also composes film music. It looks like Fraser may have quit the music business. Here's a video for Lotto Jisco by 9 Lazy 9.
